Wright terminates rehab assignment, to be examined later this week

Mets third baseman David Wright terminated his rehab assignment and will be examined in New York later this week, the team announced Monday night.

Wright played three games for High-A St. Lucie in a rehab stint last week as he looked to return from a shoulder impingement that has kept him out since spring training.

"After playing in a few games, I continued to have shoulder pain," Wright said in a statement. "So I decided to go to the doctor and get it checked out. Will make any decisions going forward after my appointment."

Wright went 0-for-4 in his first rehab game last Tuesday as a designated hitter.
